6. Camera Compatibility Settings

• How to turn off HDMI display info / Not full screen? Go to your camera's menu → HDMI Settings / External Display Settings → HDMI Info Display (or Display Info / Overlay Display) → set it to Off or Clean.
• Monitor Turns Black When Recording Starts: When recording starts, some cameras automatically disable the HDMI output to save processing, power or bandwidth. This behavior depends on the camera model and its HDMI output settings. To prevent the external monitor from going black during recording, enable "HDMI output during recording" or "HDMI Info Display: On/Off while recording" in the camera's setup menu (if supported).
• Can the Camera Screen and External Monitor Display Simultaneously? Whether the camera's built-in screen and the external HDMI monitor can display at the same time depends on the model. Many professional or cinema cameras support dual display (simultaneous output), while some mirrorless or DSLR models only allow one active display at a time. Check the menu for options like: "Dual display" / "Simultaneous display" / "Monitor + HDMI output" or "HDMI display priority". If available, enable dual display to view both screens simultaneously.

7. Troubleshooting

• Can't turn on the monitor: Make sure to use the standard 12V 1.5A power adapter to connect the monitor. If power is supplied by battery, please check if the battery is fully charged. Long press the power button to turn on the monitor.
• The monitor display "no signal" / black screen / not support 4K signal format:
  1. Try another HDMI cable.
  2. Please try to connect monitor HDMI to your computer; check if the monitor has a signal.
  3. Change the camera output signal such as 1080p 60 signal format; confirm the monitor input signal whether it supports the camera output signal.
  4. Turn off the camera's wireless network function (Wi-Fi), which may interfere with transmission.
• The monitor display "Play and Slide show" when you connect the HDMI signal format: It is a setting in your camera. You need to switch on "secondary monitor" in the HDMI output settings and switch off "auto resolution" then you need to pair "monitor resolution" with "record resolution", and it will work.
